Works absolutely, and much faster than scanning with a flatbed. However to my knowledge it will only work with Openbook 9, and is not recognized by other applications as a scanning device.

I have heard of the pearl with openBook and iPal, I think the pearl sounds the best because it works best with jaws. Does anyone use this device and how well does it work? I don't want the Sara from FS because it is too slow. Suggestions anyone? Thanks, John
